For Painting, Drawing and Writing:

The AQUA Drop Liner with a brush tip for filling is excellent for various painting and writing techniques. It can be filled with all AQUA Drop colours except for those mixed with Opaque White. We recommend shaking the AQUA Drop well before usuage.

Paper note:

AQUA drop is a watercolour and is suitable for all watercolour papers and canvas with appropriate priming. For an even application with the AQUA Drop Liner, smoother, satin-finish papers are recommended.
In general, the purer the colours are applied and the more absorbent the surface, the more firmly the pigments will anchor in the substrate. Therefore, we advise conducting individual pre-tests before use.
